David C. Houston focuses on Ecology, Vulture, Cathartes, Foraging and Body condition.
His Ecology research includes themes of Dry weight and Oviduct.
His work focuses on many connections between Cathartes and other disciplines, such as Competition, that overlap with his field of interest in Zoology.
His Zoology study incorporates themes from Interspecific competition and Feeding Methods.
The Foraging study combines topics in areas such as Population density, Gyps, Allee effect and Habitat.
His Body condition research incorporates elements of Anatomy, Pectoral muscle, Keel, Body weight and Total protein.
